Sore Throat

So far your answers indicate that your sore throat has lasted more than two weeks and you don't have other symptoms suggestive of an infection.

A prolonged sore throat with weight loss, a hoarse voice or noticing a lump in the neck might be a sign of a more serious problem.

Do you have one or more of these symptoms:

  • sore throat with unexplained weight loss

  • a hoarse voice

  • a lump in your neck?

Yes, I have one or more of these symptoms.

No, I do not have these symptoms.
